Hello again, @maryflorida. So happy you will be referred to a neurologist. My neurologist is part of my Dream Team of doctors, and very involved with my care. Because she has me on Actemra, I get lab work done once a week, or twice a week if my WBC or neutrophils are too low. I also have a 3-month phone appointment (not an office visit, because of Covid) and can also phone her at any time, if issues come up that concern me.
Good luck!
